I'm sorry, but Drew at # 9 looks just so wrong.

However, once position scarcity is considered, it makes sense. Woe be the team looking for an established SS this year.

I wonder which # 39 guy they have listed?

The really tall pitcher that did not play last year, or, the outfielder from Oakland?

I think it is actually the former.

 

[Brocktagon]

Joba Chamberlain should be ranked ahead of no one.

Including me.

i'm not sure of anyone outside this top 20 is worth money

 

[BigDDude]

roy halliday went from first to worst. I wonder who will gamble on him and for how much. perhaps the A's? bartolo could hook him up with whatever he's using....

"Houston, Houston means that I'm one day closer to you
Houston, Houston means the last day of the tour and we're through
Well honey, you and God in heaven above know I love what I do for a living, I do
Ah, but Houston, Houston means that I'm one day closer to you."

you just reminded me

I was at fenway when A-gon hit a moonshot over the monstah. I swear it's still in the air. he hit it against the orioles. if they had a red seat in left field, he may have hit it.

Celtics are now ranked at the bottom, #30

I really fucking hate danny ainge

 

[rokketmn]

dude, it's SEATTLE

I can see Toronto putting a run together but that never happens.

and how does seattle bid on a guy like ellsbury? they haven't bid on anybody great in recent memory.

Seattle has the money. Don't be fooled. They have been waiting in the wings to spend it.

As for Toronto, Moxie. Yes, they may be a cardboard contender, but they will spend nonetheless. They have to with the money already invested in the rest of their team. Same with Philadelphia.

This has nothign to do with who will actually compete, but rather who believes they can compete.

Give me that Roider Peralta at his price compared to Drew.

Mo had a better year and he's Mo

i have no problem with that award

you wanna bitch about his ASG MVP award........that has some merit

but Mo was at least as deserving as Lackey, and I think more

A guy coming off ACL surgery and who throws 60 innings versus a guy that is coming off elbow surgery and throws 190 innings? Especially when that starter beat the league average for his position and the reliever did not, or at best matched?

Sorry...no sale.

I really don't remember seattle being a serious contender since buhner/griffey

he was also 10-13.............not that his record was entirely his fault

but in Mo's "see ya" season, he gets that award

^^^This^^^^


If Jesus came back and hit .400 he might have had a shot at beating Mo, anyone else...no chance.


None of these awards really mean anything anyway.


Just be glad your guy did good and won a ring.

I myself do not think Montero will return to the Yankees. Heck, he is having a hard time breaking the M's roster.....
